Maybe Calibre truncates the name in its own naming system but feeds the full name to CC without truncation.

CC uses the name supplied by calibre.
Calibre truncates the name if necessary so that the total length is less that approximately 200 characters. The 'truncation' is taken from the middle of the name.
If the {id} is in the template at the end then there is almost zero probability that the file names will conflict. The only way it can happen is if the same author and title exist in two different calibre libraries and have the same calibre library id.
